“I am humbled and honoured to officially end my career and retire as a member of the Vancouver Canucks,” said Edler. “I consider myself lucky to have started my career with such an outstanding organization, in this amazing city, with the best fans in the NHL. Finishing my NHL career where it all began is something very special for myself and my family.”

Other than Bure, have we drafted a better player ever who was better for the Canucks, and drafted later than he was? I think not. If a draft was repeated, I think he would have been easily top 15 in hindsight.

in his prime he was a legit. No.2 Top pairing guy
He had those four early years that were at like a 40 point pace... would have been a longer peak but the 2012-2013 saw him play only half the year... but even years after that he was good for 30 plus points, he made good reads 5on5 and brought physicality.
Awesome player.

will D-Petey develop into something like a mini-Edler? only if we're lucky.
